Overview

"Conic Hill is a sharp little summit rising above Balmaha. Right on the Highland Boundary Fault, this short hillwalk offers truly fantastic views over Loch Lomond and its many islands."

"Inchcailloch may not be the largest, but it is the most accessible and probably the most beautiful, of Loch Lomond's islands. Part of a National Nature Reserve, the island has wonderful woodlands and offers fabulous views out across the loch."

After tackling Conic Hill, we'll have a break for food/drink before getting the wooden boat over to Inchcailloch Island for a short walk & exploration (cost is £7.50)
